Why did Google do that? Why not stay with the standardized Java and get the benefits of all existing Java and Mobile Java apps? Sometimes these software vendors can be really brain dead! They just love proprietary or incompatible stuff. Java was designed to be compatible on all platforms, now Android calls it "java", but it's not compatible with Sun/Oracle's Java. This sounds just like what Microsoft did years ago - luckily Sun put a stop to that. I don't know much about Android, but just when I thought it sounded great, I hear things like this. :-( -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
